Colleters, osmophores, and nectaries in the species Ceropegia lenewtonii: a sapromyiophilous stapeliad (Asclepiadoideae, Apocynaceae)

Aliscioni S. S., Gotelli M., Galati B., Zarlavsky G., Torretta J. P., Colleters, osmophores, and nectaries in the species Ceropegia lenewtonii: a sapromyiophilous stapeliad (Asclepiadoideae, Apocynaceae), Protoplasma, 2024, 261(1):3-13, doi: 10.1007/s00709-023-01872-4

A study of the structure and histochemistry of floral glands, including colleters, osmophores and nectaries. The material was described as Ceropegia lenewtonii and equated with Huernia keniensis. In POWO, C. lenewtonii is a synonym of the distinct H. lenewtonii. Attributing the results to a species requires rechecking the material's identification.

Allegra M., Carletti F., Gambino G., Tutone M., Attanzio A., Tesoriere L., Ferraro G., Sardo P., Almerico A. M., Livrea M. A., Indicaxanthin from Opuntia ficus-indica Crosses the Blood–Brain Barrier and Modulates Neuronal Bioelectric Activity in Rat Hippocampus at Dietary-Consistent Amounts, Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2015, 63(33):7353-7360, doi: 10.1021/acs.jafc.5b02612

A study of indicaxanthin in rats that includes measurement of the pigment in the brain after oral administration, recordings from hippocampal neurons during local microiontophoresis and modelling of interaction with the NMDA receptor. The results describe pharmacokinetics and the acute electrophysiological response in an animal model.

Linking hydrological, geomorphological and biological properties in hyper-arid conditions: Distribution processes of a dominant clonal cactus by run-off

Almirón M. G., Martínez Carretero E. E., Navas Kaluza M. D., Rothis L. M., Linking hydrological, geomorphological and biological properties in hyper-arid conditions: Distribution processes of a dominant clonal cactus by run-off, Austral Ecology, 2019, 44(2):209-215, doi: 10.1111/aec.12665

A field experiment on the transport of Tephrocactus aoracanthus segments by water runoff after downpours. It tracked 30 marked segments in a channel and 30 beyond its reach, taking microrelief and interception by shrubs into account. The paper describes transport over hundreds of metres and changes in position after successive rains.

Morphology and mechanical properties of junctions: Implications on the success of clonal spread of cacti

Almirón M. G., Martínez Carretero E. E., Navas M. D., Pantano M. V., Morphology and mechanical properties of junctions: Implications on the success of clonal spread of cacti, Journal of Arid Environments, 2016, 128:8-11, doi: 10.1016/j.jaridenv.2016.01.001

A biomechanical experiment on 30 three-segment branches of Tephrocactus aoracanthus. The authors measured segment geometry, joint area, deflection and the load causing separation. The results link the greater brittleness of young joints to clonal reproduction.
